Gestational Repo Financing – short term repo product that allows institutions seeking incremental yield to invest cash into a security that meets the definition of a “security” under Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act and Section 8-102 of the UCC and is deemed an investment security governed by Article 8 of the UCC. The GNMA security carries the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, giving it a zero risk weighting. For the mortgage originator client, gestation repo brings capital markets financing capability to a client base that are otherwise beholden to bank controlled warehouse funding lines. Gestation repo also increases the velocity of the pooling capability for GNMA issuers, while at the same time reduces funding costs and improves the mortgage client’s cash position.
